International Desk, Jan 18, 2006
Graphics processor manufacturer Nvidia Corporation announced the Nvidia nForce4 SLI XE and Nvidia nForce4 Ultra media and communications processors (MCPs).
Together with Nvidia nForce4 SLI X16 MCP already available, the company is now providing its system builder and do-it-yourself (DIY) communities with two new lower cost, discrete motherboard solutions for Intel PC platforms. All three are compatible with all currently available Intel dual-core CPUs, including the new Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 955.
In addition to providing advanced storage and security capabilities and support for high-definition audio - the company claims to have dramatically lowered the entry point for those interested in building multi-GPU PC platforms using Intel CPUs. The expected retail price of nForce4 SLI XE-based motherboards is less than $100. Targeted for single-GPU configurations, nForce4 Ultra MCP-based motherboards are expected to retail at $89.
"Our core-logic business is a strategic growth driver for Nvidia, and these new products allow us to capitalize on these high-volume Intel segments," said Drew Henry, general manager of MCP business at Nvidia. "With a top-to-bottom product family including Nvidia nForce4 SLI X16 for the high-end enthusiast, Nvidia nForce4 SLI XE for those interested in performance, and the Nvidia nForce4 Ultra for more general PC usage, we are excited about our opportunities and the potential growth for our MCP business group."
PC OEMs, system builders and motherboard manufacturers, including Biostar, ECS, Epox, Foxconn, Jetway, J&W, MSI, and others, are expected to have retail products based on the nForce4 SLI XE and nForce4 Ultra MCPs available starting in late January 2006.
